Erik Knuth is an experienced bodyworker and somatic educator. He has been teaching and practicing therapeutic modalities for nearly 18 years throughout Wisconsin and at the Himalayan Institute in Pennsylvania where he and his family resided. While owning and operating a successful construction company in Wisconsin, Erik conducted extensive research into movement, breath and bodywork.

Inspired and lead to share his knowledge with others, he and his wife, Cheri, founded UBWI, the home of Unified Body Method™. Erik’s philosophy in combining experiences with research is the basis for Unified Body Method™. He utilizes his insights from all aspects of life-his trip to India, his studies with his spiritual teacher Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, the wisdom he’s gleaned from being a husband, and father, his time building homes, and his personal spiritual journey. With this background, along with his education, research, and training, Erik is able to bring to class an energy and knowledge that supports each student on their own path of healing, wellness, discovery and learning through the benefits of the Unified Body Method™. Erik is a nationally board certified Bodyworker, and certified Yoga Instructor.
